WEARING JEANS WITH A DRESS
Gurl’s I am on pins and needles today. I will be hosting a big business presentation tonight in a large town that is 2 hours away. I have never even hosted a small presentation much less a large one. ? You all hear me preach about setting out of your comfort zone and I am showing you an example. Am I petrified??? Heck yes! Am I still going to do it??? Heck yes! I am going to count it as a win if I do not pass out or hurl. Lol! I am setting the bar pretty low.
I spent Sunday afternoon with my Energizer Bunny Friend gathering up products and presentation supplies since I am in charge of setting all of that up. There will be 4 other ladies who will sit on a panel, one of them is EBF, and I will be asking questions of each one. The event is going to be in the Carnegie Hotel and Spa in Johnson City, TN., and this place looks AH-MAZING!!! I can’t wait to check it out. My guess is that this event will end up costing Joe a lot of money down the road. Hahaha! I see a weekend getaway in my future. Anyway, I will be practicing my “Superwoman” pose before the event and I also will be doing some deep breathing and relaxing techniques. Whew! Send some good thoughts my way and if you are in the Tri-Cities area I would love to have a friendly face in the audience. I’ll even buy you a drink!
I bought this dress online at Old Navy the other day because it was in a style that I liked, and it was on sale. Lol! However, when I got this dress in I was extremely pleased. I thought that this dress was going to be out of the same jersey knit material as the other swing dresses I bought from ON before. But this dress is different, it feels different and nicer. The description says, “plush” and I guess that is a pretty good description. It justs feels and hangs “richer” if you know what I mean. This one is in the color, Golden Opportunity but it also comes in a Heather Gray. I bought a large and as you can see, it fits perfectly. It is machine washable so that is a plus.
I love the spring look of this jewelry. The shorter Tory necklace is so colorful that it will match almost anything this spring and summer. The colors of this necklace are gorgeous and the matching Sofia bracelet is adjustable from 8 to 9.5 inches. The necklace is getting low in stock so hurry and don’t let these sell-out. You will get a lot of wear out of these in the coming months. The long multi-colored stone necklace with the long fabric tassel is the Jenna. This beauty is 40″ long and you can even double it for a completely different look. Look how bright it looks with this outfit here. Go to plunderdesign.com/taniastephens and pick a party with my name to go shopping.
Either you love them or you hate them. I admit that the raw hem trend is one that takes a little while to warm up to. As someone who has long legs and has struggled all of her life to have pants long enough this trend is hard to embrace. I have had to deal with let out hems since I was young since that was the only way that the pants would be long enough for me. Nowadays you have the “tall” sizes so that is not as much an issue. Who knew that I was such a pioneer in my younger days? Lol!!! These are from Old Navy and I love the way they fit and look. THIS is the mid-rise raw-edge Rockstar jean in a dark rinse. This pair has an inseam of 27″ but it does come in tall and petites also.
I wanted to go with a run-around-town look so I opted to wear my navy ballet slippers by Isaac Mizrahi. They are so easy to walk in and run after the grandbabies. Lol! I am usually all about my high heels but there are days when only a flat will do. I just wish that they made “cuter” flats.
Wish me luck on tonight’s event!!! If you are interested in hearing more about the “Business Opportunity” then be on the lookout for a new page that I will be adding to my Rodan + Fields link in the top header.

Love the dress over jeans.
